Notes

  • This work contains a note explaining that the essays in this anthology were edited to varying degrees and that some were translated from languages other than English. The note states: 'It should also be noted that stories written in mother tongue languages and translated - either from written work or tapes - are generally more complex both in concept and expression, even though some students are younger, or have not been in Australia as long as their peers who have written in English'.

Affiliation Notes

  • This work is affiliated with the AustLit subset Asian-Australian Children's Literature and Publishing because it has Vietnamese and Timorese settings.
